Look to the Left or Right, or Neither explores human interaction and group dynamics through a structured game involving three participants. In this game, eye contact can only occur between two individuals at a time, and only those receiving eye contact are allowed to engage in the act of braiding threads. The objective is to be the first to reach the end of the threads, but the rules transform eye contact into a symbolic display of power and control. The action of braiding threads becomes the translation of the internal dynamics both inside the box and within the group.
